What is the process to get access to the Azure OpenAI Studio Early Access Playground?

Question

I see some other people can play with GPT-4o mini from Azure Open AI studio. I want to test it and compare the outcome with my app using GPT 3.5 APIs.

Hello Mao,

Thanks for reaching out to us. You need to be in region West US3 or EastUS.

The GPT-4o mini early access playground is currently only available for resources in West US3 and East US, and is limited to 10 requests every five minutes per subscription. Azure OpenAI content filters are enabled at the default configuration and cannot be modified. GPT-4o mini is a preview model and is currently not available for deployment/direct API access.

Please follow this process -

1. Navigate to Azure OpenAI Studio at https://oai.azure.com/ and sign-in with credentials that have access to your OpenAI resources.
2. Select an Azure OpenAI resource in the West US3 or East US regions. If you don't have a resource in one of these regions you will need to create a resource.
3. From the main Azure OpenAI Studio page select the Early Access Playground (Preview) button from under the Get started section. (This button will only be visible when a resource in West US3 or East US is selected.)
4. Now you can start asking the model questions just as you would before in the existing chat playground.

I hope this helps!

Regards,

Yutong
